convenience store
Quick errand destination
A convenience store is a small retail shop, typically open long hours, that sells everyday items like snacks, beverages, toiletries, and sometimes gasoline.
The name reflects the appeal: quick access to basics without navigating a full supermarket.
I stopped at the convenience store for cigarettes and a lottery ticket.
